Yup, and it nicely confirms that (a) my Charter connection is in fact 65 Mbps down and (b) I can't get faster internet where I live.

Oh, and 5 Mbps up is just ridiculous. That's what I get with my business plan. Back up a TB of data to the cloud? Yeah, that'll take weeks.

I feel your pain. 12Mbps here but it seems that Crashplan tops out at 4.5Mbps anyway here in the UK so sending 2.3TB up there took over 2 months.


Ya. And at my 5 Mbps up, I'd have to throttle it myself, otherwise my internet connection here would be useless for the weeks it takes to upload.
